Court documents and transcripts in the legal battle over Prince Harry's U.S. immigration were released, but heavily redacted. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) withheld Harry's immigration records entirely, citing potential "harm and harassment." The Heritage Foundation, which requested the documents, alleges Harry concealed past drug use as admitted in his memoir, "Spare." They claim this warrants investigation into whether he received preferential treatment. The DHS countered that the Heritage Foundation hadn't demonstrated public interest outweighing Harry's right to privacy and that he received no special treatment. While admitting past drug use on a visa application can lead to rejection, the final decision rests on various factors. Lying on the application carries severe consequences, including a lifetime ban from the U.S. President Trump commented on the situation, stating he wouldn't deport Harry.
